Tasmania is open for business for tourists, despite the devastation experienced through the recent bushfires that swept across the state, the Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce CEO Michael Bailey says.
Mr Bailey says though the fires were significant, it affected around three per cent of Tasmania, applauding the efforts of firefighters from all over Australia in containing them.
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce told Sky News that the airline carries 2.7 million people in and out of Tasmania annually, a 63 per cent growth into Hobart since 2013 and is the largest growth of any market on any airline network.
